| | You may have rolled your eyes when you read today’s newsletter headline. An architect wants to make buildings out of molten lava?! I was skeptical too, at first, but if humans can drill for oil 20,000 feet beneath the surface, why can’t we use the same level of ingenuity to extract another one of Earth’s natural materials?
